Our world is so overwhelmed with information, and we should be so grateful of the access we have to this amount of knowledge. Or are we sinking slowly like quicksand with the effect it is having within the relationships we have with ourselves’ and those around us?

Or is it helping us so much with the images portrayed online we all want to be just like that, we actually forget who we are and become led astray from our hearts desires and goals??

It is better to spend time with people in person, and it is a gift that we can connect to friends and loved ones at distance through Skype etc. There are always moments we would Love them to be with us physically, instead of through a screen and it is times like this when we are grateful for technology.

A primary nourishing food I remind my clients to try and find time away from their computer screen or iPhone when it has nothing to do with work, and for some people it is becoming a challenge to jump offline each day, or during the week and reconnect with family or friends you have been trying to connect with.
Meet for a coffee and a chat without taking pictures of coffees and find out what is happening in each others lives which you cannot find on the social media! Or enjoy either a walk or go for a nice drive to somewhere different or a favourite location!

Just reconnect with life away from your online screen, connect back to you and your friends, this is such a valuable exercise for both our emotional and mental wellbeing. If your 9 to 5 job is online don’t you think it would be healthier to disconnect away from the screen and reconnect with YOU?

Physical Health
For your physical health you can join a gym or if you want to keep costs down you could join up with some friends and start a walking night each evening, or so many times a week at a certain time. I know of many friends and neighbours who do this and it’s a great way to get a lot off you chest when walking with friends.
If you like swimming this is the perfect de-stressing exercise and its so relaxing on your muscles. I am sure in your area there maybe aqua aerobic classes which are great fun,  when I did personal training the men and women who attended the aqua aerobic classes loved it because it was so much fun and a lot of friendships were made.

Quiet Time
Or you can do at least 15 minutes of meditation, if you find meditation difficult you can go to a park or somewhere that is peaceful, (a couple of my clients would retreat into the bathroom, their sacred space of peace!)  find your sacred area of peace, quiten your mind for that moment of time of peace within yourself,and listen to your breathing if your mind is still chattering away, most of all enjoy it. I will do a segment about meditation in my future blogs which will continue on this theme.

Take a little time off-line and reconnect with the living world which can be filled with fun and spontaneity each day!

I would love to hear of the ways you find to relax off-line let me know in the comments.
I will be posting more on your Holistic Health in future blogs and if there is anything you would like me to discuss, you are more than welcome to drop me an email.

Enjoy and please share if you like.

Blissful wishes
